Chief is asked at 2:25 about the stop and he says the Officer did NOT know about the robbery.
Please don’t post comments without knowing the facts in the future. We do work to have information, not disinformation, on these boards.
I saw a video of the chief saying the same thing.

“Was the officer aware of the robbery call?”
“I don’t know”
You keep mixsing up being aware that the two were the robbers with being aware of the robbery.
Thanks, I was agreeing with your point that I heard the
Police Chief say, that he didn’t know.
Sorry, that was a reflex!
..>>Please dont post comments without knowing the facts in the future. We do work to have information, not disinformation, on these boards.
You posted on another thread that the police confiscated some evidence from a witness and you included it could be B.S. then why post it as factual and then lecture others.
Talking about typical drug screens. Have sent then in to labs and know the owner of one of the labs. I’ve watched him run tests for marijuana, opiates, cocaine, etc...I’m not talking about anything exotic...lol
The spin doctors are already at work. They got to build the black / white division to max before November you know...
And this is a police investigation with potential criminal charges.
So its a forensic investigation.
By the way the routine screens done for drugs have tons of false positives and false negatives.
Common cold meds can pop for amphetamine.
A total of 25 reports of false-positive UDS results were identified. Categories of medications included antihistamines, antidepressants, antibiotics, analgesics, antipsychotics, and nonprescription agents. Reports of false-positive results were found for the following formulary and nonprescription medications brompheniramine, bupropion, chlorpromazine, clomipramine, dextromethorphan, diphenhydramine, doxylamine, ibuprofen, naproxen, promethazine, quetiapine, quinolones (ofloxacin and gatifloxacin), ranitidine, sertraline, thioridazine, trazodone, venlafaxine, verapamil, and a nonprescription nasal inhaler. False-positive results for amphetamine and methamphetamine were the most commonly reported. False-positive results for methadone, opioids, phencyclidine, barbiturates, cannabinoids, and benzodiazepines were also reported in patients taking commonly used medications. The most commonly used tests to screen urine for drugs of abuse are immunoassays, even though false-positive results for drugs of abuse have been reported with a number of these rapid-screening products. Results from such tests should be confirmed using additional analytical methods, including gas chromatographymass spectrometry.
Conclusion. A number of routinely prescribed medications have been associated with triggering false-positive UDS results. Verification of the test results with a different screening test or additional analytical tests should be performed to avoid adverse consequences for the patients.”
So sit back and wait for the results. Its going to take a while...
The legal issue will be the bum-rush and whether that was justification to resort to lethal force? I do not know the answer to the question, but I think it is going to be problematic. Did the officer have a night stick? Did he have mace? Any other nonlethal weapons available? Officers are trained on continuum of force before they go to lethal force.
> No, he probably just speaks carefully.
The officer was not dispatched regarding the robbery, and did not stop the two because of the robbery.
He could certainly have realized that the two matched the description after he saw them and saw the cigars they were carrying.
That makes sense more than any other explanation I’ve heard and that’s the nature of police work. Things can change in a matter if seconds if a BOLO report is issued..
If Brown had been a normal sized guy then the officer might have had options.
However: he was huge and powerful. It would have been like using a nightstick on a charging bear.
Your explanation might have been accurate if we were back in 1960. However, we are in 2014 and communication is instant.
The reason for the long delay is for no other reason than the fact that “everyone has to get their stories right” so that no individual goes against the group.
It’s all CYA and a hell of a lot of money is wasted by the use of many, many “investigators” and others who receive money to “investigate” a simple vial of blood. It’s nothing more than a “racket” consisting of law enforcement, lawyers, medical personnel and many, many others who exist solely upon the perceived need for their services.
This is the modern era and communication is INSTANT...except by any (and all) involved with the government in any manner.
You have NO idea what you are talking about. None.
You sound the more knowledgeable, rational and reasonable.
.................So far.
Did the officer have a night stick? Did he have mace? Any other nonlethal weapons available?

Would be a bit difficult to use such, after a 6’4”, 290# guy shoves you back into the cruiser, is pounding you in the face and trying to grab your gun.
That'll cut down the length of most threads by about 90%.
Did friend of Ferguson Officer Darren Wilson, say she heard her account from Darren Wilson’s significant other during the interview with Dana Loesch? This could really get interesting!
“That officer had no idea about robbery was headline across the country.”....
You actually believe what the media reports? REALLY?
